accessing demo files from presentations.

May 02, 2013

I know I can create Resources. But ideally I would like to have buttons open up files when required. So I created the buttons, and inserted link to the file. However when publishing in HTML 5, the buttons do not work. I click and nothing happens. Help...

Hi there Ramzi!

First, how are you viewing the HTML5 content? If you're viewing it locally, that may be why the links to the files aren't working. 

If you view published Storyline content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.
To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review the following article for details:
If you are uploading the course to a web server or LMS, can you tell me if this works for you when publishing for Flash (not HTML5)?
Thanks!
